چکیده مقاله:

Substructuring in the finite element method is a technique that reduces computational cost and memory usage for analysis of complex structures. The efficiency of this technique depends on the number of substructures in different problems. Some subdivisions increase computational cost, but require little memory usage and vice versa. In the present study, the cost functions of computations and memory usage are extracted in terms of number of subdivisions and optimized mathematically. The results are presented in the form of tables which recommend the proper substructuring for different number of elements. A combined case is also considered which investigates balanced reduction of computational and memory cost for 2D problems. Several numerical examples are analyzed numerically to demonstrate the abilities and efficiency of the proposed computational algorithm for structured and unstructured mesh.

This paper presents a new super-element with twelve degrees of freedom for latticed columns. This elements is developed such that it behaves, with an acceptable approximation, in the same manner as a reference model does. The reference model is constructed by using many Solid elements. The cross section area, moments of inertia, shear coefficient and torsoinal rigidity of the developed new elem...

Computational and Programming Aspects of Transition Elements in a Three-dimensional Finite Element Program

The performance of any finite element (FE) structural analysis is directly related to the global number of nodes and degrees of freedom (DOF) of the discretized structure and mesh distribution attributes. It is obvious that the appropriate numerical analysis needs finer elements in the zone of interest, e.g. zone of high stress concentration and intensity, and coarser elements for farther porti...

Chiral fermions at low computational cost using finite element methods

We use a specific implementation of discrete differential geometry to describe Dirac-Kähler fermions in such a way that we can separate their chiral and flavour components. The formulation introduces additional lattices so that on each lattice there is a single field of definate chirality. Within this framework, we define an non-compact Abelian gauge theory. Chiral fermions at low computational...

The Skeleton Reduction for Finite Element Substructuring Methods

We introduce an abstract concept for decomposing spaces with respect to a substructuring of a bounded domain. In this setting we define weakly conforming finite element approximations of quadratic minimization problems. Within a saddle point approach the reduction to symmetric positive Schur complement systems on the skeleton is analyzed. Applications include weakly conforming variants of least...
